Vredestein tire users - Reviews?

I've read Hardriver's reviews and how he had a couple sets blow up on him, but he thinks it was secondary to premature inner wear due to a bad alignment.

I'm curious if anyone is currently using these, and if you can share your experiences.

Thanks

I like them... definetly better than the stock contis. I have around 800 miles on them with no issue. And they were cheap around 850 for a set of 4 19's. I usually buy PS2s for my cars but the rears were on long back order. I have 275s in the back they appear a little narrower than other 275s I have seen maybe its just me though. On a 9.5 inch rim I definetly think 285s would look better. I actually posted pics of my car with them on in the S55 forum.

Will - I'm running PS2's as well on 19's, but I have 20's on order, and now looking at this tire.

I read on the S55 thread that these tires are sticky. Are they quiet like the PS2s?

Can you PM me the shop you bought your tires from?

They are on Long Island I called Vredestein and they gave me the phone number for their authorized dealer. I have the number at my shop Ill look for it Monday. Their dealer was cheaper than all the second dealers I found though. They are pretty quiet you can hear a little at low speed the PS2 has pretty much a straight tread pattern I think thats why they are so quiet. I would give it 3/4 pedal and the stock contis would just spin. These just chirp and go.
